Hi, Faryal! The After the End ebooks will release to backers this October. The exact date is TBD. The audiobooks are scheduled to release in November. Hardbacks and paperbacks need to be ordered and shipped from the factory overseas to the distributor in Texas and then delivered to backers, so those won't arrive until late spring or early summer 2026. The ebooks will then release on various platforms (Amazon, Kobo, etc.) after all backers have gotten their rewards. Can't wait for y'all to read this one. It is very different than anything I've written before.

I am certain about nothing, lol. I have *intentions* for Jesse, Rory, and Bryce from Stonecut County, Harper/Knocker from Steel Bones, Lucca/Tomas/Sara from Underboss Insurrection, and Kennedy/Tye, Leith/Tandie, Seth/Drona, Nia/Pritchard, Rowan/Liam, Bevan/?, and Amir/? from Five Packs. I also get ideas constantly, and the way my brain works, I can't write a story if I don't know what happens, and I wish I could, but can't *make* that happen...

I'm so happy that you loved it! Abertha will get a story, but it'll probably be at the very end of the series. I'm keeping mum about the details (because I don't know them yet, lol). The human hunters were dealt a blow in Lone Wolf, but have yet to be dealt with completely. That'll come in a future book. I do have a story in mind for Kennedy and Tye. Send good vibes for creative inspiration, and thanks for reading! :)

I love Bevan. Accepting suggestions for his partner, though, because I have no idea... :)

Sorry, I missed this question. :( Turned out, the couple is Izzy and Trevor.

I have good news on that front! The audiobook is finished and in my grubby paws. All I'm waiting for is the cover from the designer, and then I'll upload. (It usually takes about 10 days after that point.) Send good vibes. :)

I'm actually in the process of revising this book. I have plans to release it under the Cate C. Wells name sometime this year, hopefully. In the meantime, it's off the shelf.

It is my intention! I'm working on a different project at the moment, but it's on the sticky note and coming together in my head (fingers crossed).

Thanks for reading! I'm so stoked that you're enjoying the books. I have every intention of writing Harper's story, but I'm having trouble hearing her voice. I'm not giving up, but I will accept good vibes. :)

I am so stoked that you liked it! I just finished writing a *secret group project* that we'll be announcing next month (although it won't release for a while). I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to write next. I usually start the story speaking stongest and see if I get traction. If you subscribe to my newsletter on www.catecwells.com, you can get updates when I decide what I'm writing and then how I'm struggling, lol. Also cat pics. Thanks for reading. (I do love writing a psychopath, too, although I seem to be in my golden retriever era.)

Thanks for reading! I have an intention to write a Lucca, Tomas, and Sara MMF book, but I'm not sure where it is in the queue at the moment. Stay tuned...

Hey, thanks for reading. It is my intention to write Kennedy's story. Send good vibes and prayers for inspiration. :)

I do want to write a story for Brice (and the Sunshiner), but I'm not quite sure how it unfolds quite yet. They're both reserved, and that's always the trickiest relationship to write. You need a real firecracker of an inciting incident to set things off.

Okay, I am nervous to say this, but TENTATIVELY (so very tentatively), December 26, 2024. Send me good vibes. :)
Cate C. Wells
Oh, thank you! I actually have a novella, Made Man, coming out December 5th in the anthology Sin & Snowflakes. It's available for pre-order now. (It's the story of Dario and Posy's daughter, Mira.)
I have one more book planned for the series---Lucca, Tomas, and Sara's story. Not sure when I'll write it, but the story is there, waiting. :)

I'm so stoked that you're loving the books! I do lightly plot the beats/scenes of the story, but then I'm always changing things as I learn the characters and their backstories. In Tyrant Alpha, I had NO IDEA about what happened when they were children until it kind of came to me as I was writing. That was magic, and it doesn't happen a lot. (I wish it did.) I have a writing coach who I work with every month, and we go back and forth on a chapter, honing my skills. When the book is finished, it goes to my coach, my editor, and beta readers, and then I polish it like a diamond until I can't stand it anymore, and then it goes to my proofreader(s). I'm really lucky to have a team of reliable, skilled editors. I'm blessed. :)
